What Causes Extreme Tightness In Scrotum Before Having Bowel Movement With Numbness In Upper Left Thigh?

My husband is having some issues and I am curious as to what may be causing them. He complains that his scrotum will become extremely tight and feel almost like leather before having a bowel movement. He also has numbness is the upper left thigh. And, lastly, he is experiencing a fire like pain that sometimes feels cold as well in his feet. Could these symptoms be related? Thank you in advance for any help. Sincerely, Leanne Whitley

Hi. the pain and numbness in the lower limb can be due to the disc problem in the spine causing compression on the nerve roots. MRI will prove or rule out this. The tightness of the scrotum on motion is usually due to the spasm of the abdominal muscles the extension of which in the scrotum id causing it to become tightness.Both symptoms may not be related
